The Peterborough Players will return to wrap up 2021 with a virtual show this weekend before turning to simulcast opera performances to start the new year.
The Peterborough Players Digital Year-end Cabaret will be available online at no charge from Friday at 7:30 p.m. through Sunday at 7:30 p.m. The cabaret will feature a fabulous collection of holiday fare, musical theater tunes, and standards performed by a host of Players favorites. Currently scheduled to appear are Claire D. Kolheim (Aretha Franklin in “Beehive: the 60’s Musical” at the Players); Pamela Bob (Audrey in “Little Shop of Horrors”); Pedro Ka’awaloa (Patrick in “Where You Are”); Madeline Kendall (Rebecca in “Our Town”); Susie Stevens, Greg Wood, and Laura Wood (“God of Carnage;” “She Loves Me”); Hallie D. Chapman (Tina Turner in “Beehive: the 60’s Musical”); K.P. Powell (George in “Our Town”); Katie Shults (Lulu in “Beehive: the 60’s Musical”); Gilly Caulo (Sam Craig in “Our Town”); friend of the Players Paige Mason, and cabaret lovers Bridget Beirne and Kraig Swartz.
Warm up the hot cocoa (or something a little stronger), get cozy and enjoy this Players’ holiday gift, right in your living room. The cabaret will be available for a limited time. The show can be viewed by tuning into the Players website, YouTube channel, or Facebook page.
The Players announced last week that they won’t be staging any live performances this winter, but “The Met: Live in HD,” the series of operatic simulcasts, begins Jan. 1 with “Cinderella.”
